SA gets stuck in a redirect loop if clicking a link to a product and the user is not signed into Amazon #44

I was accessing this link from a Google search page: https://www.amazon.com/ACCO-Loose-Binder-Capacity-Silver/dp/B00008XPLC

It's happened many different times with different links, but maybe this helps replicate the issue. The error message looks pretty much exactly like this.

What solved it was going directly to Amazon.com, which properly redirected me to a sign-in page. After that, clicking the link at the top worked perfectly. Clearing all cookies did nothing, problem reoccurred immediately when I logged out of Amazon.

Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro SmileAlways Version 1.0

Thanks for reporting with details. I couldn't recreate this issue. When I click the link while logged out, I don't get redirected to the Smile version, but there's no redirect loop.

Are you sure you're not using a modified version of the extension from another source? The Chrome Web Store version (which is the current master version here) is v0.93; we still haven't hit version 1.0.

If that isn't it, could you list the other extensions you have installed? Sometimes these issues are caused by weird interactions with other extensions.

I'm an idiot. I wasn't using SmileAlways, I was using Always Smile. (Though to be entirely fair, that's pretty deceptive of them)

Installed the proper extension and it behaves as expected. Thanks.
